PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

John

sorry, things did not work out as you

would have liked them to between us

people do change

I wish you all the luck in the world

because I truly believe

with every fiber of my being

that you are indeed

going to need it

you conveniently forget

that I spent over a year

living precariously wedged

under your double edged knife

all I received for my taking you on

as a friend

was several cuts and they were

to the quick

I healed long ago and

I hold no grudge toward you

or any malice

but just because

I won't place myself back

into that position

does not mean

I'm wiping you off my slate

as a complete loss

friendship like love

falls prey throughout one's life time

to change

you have to know that

you most of all

I believe

should know that

sorry that you think

me an insensitive heal

for no longer wishing to be

your off again on again

quote 'Special Friend'

to turn to you in your dark

hours of need

but I'm worth more than that

you, yourself admitted to ignoring

my cards and letters

so what kind of friend does that

make you?

I don't take second best from any man

and I don't suffer fools gladly and smile

your thrice married woman with x amount of

children

must be a bonafide Christie Brinkley

for you to be so gung ho over her

because if you remember correctly

you came down on moi pretty damn hard

because I was not some svelte goddess

maybe one insensitive person deserves another

try to have a happy life!

no hard feelings
